Oh Hyun-kyu (25) is attracting attention from Fulham and Turkiye Besiktas of the English Premier League (EPL).
Britain's 'Sky Sports' said on the 26th (Korea Standard Time), "Pulum is negotiating with Oh Hyun-kyu's team Genk to reinforce the striker. The atmosphere of negotiations is positive in the early stages," he reported.
According to reports, Fulham initially offered £28 million (about 48 billion won) to recruit PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi. However, it is known that Oh Hyun-kyu is also on the strong recruitment list and is weighing it.
The circumstances that put strength on the transfer rumor were also spotted at a local stadium. Oh Hyun-kyu missed the 22nd round of Belgium's main pillar league home game against Serkler Brugher on the 26th. He has missed two consecutive games since the last 21 rounds.
The fact that the main striker, who has not received any special injury news, failed to play consecutively ahead of the closing of the transfer market is interpreted as a measure to prevent injury during the transfer negotiation stage.
Until the 25th, just a day earlier, Oh Hyun-kyu's destination was mentioned as a Turkiye. Scottish and Turkiye media reported that Besiktas was on the verge of recruiting Oh Hyun-kyu for a transfer fee of 10 million pounds (about 17.5 billion won). However, as Fulham participated in the recruitment competition, Oh Hyun-kyu seems to have put the challenge on the English stage as his top priority.
If Oh Hyun-kyu wears a Fulham uniform, it will be the 16th Korean Premier League after Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan. With the winter transfer market just around the corner, attention is being paid to whether Oh Hyun-kyu will be able to achieve his dream of "entering London."
Meanwhile, Oh Hyun-kyu left Celtic in July 2024 and wore a Genk uniform. From his debut season, he showed off his unique daredevil physicality and high-purity goal determination. Oh Hyun-kyu, who has become the team's key striker in the 2024-2025 season, achieved double-digit offensive points with 12 goals and two assists in 41 official games. He has also scored 10 goals and three assists in 30 official games this season.
